(bin.), title printed in red and black, numerous diagrams throughout; a magnificient copy, entirely uncut; modern culf backed marbled boards. First edition of the Ecchelensis translations of both works, the first published version of Books V - VII of Apollonius's Conics, which only survive in the Arabic version of Abu 'l-Fath al-Isfahani, based on the translation of Thabit ibn Qurra. Apollonius introduced the terms ellipse, parabola and hyperbola. The first four books of the Conics "probably contain little that was not alreay known ... Books V - VII seen to contain the discoveries which he himself had made" (Smith, History of mathematics, I, p. 117). These books were presumed lost (the eighth is still lost) until Borelli discovered an Arabic manuscript in the Medici library in Florence. Abraham Ecchelensis was a Maronite, born in Syria, who died in Rome 1664. He was professor of Arabic and Syriac in Rome and Paris. The Archimedes was translated from another Arabic manuscript in the Medici library, a translation from the Greek by Thabit ibn Qurra: as with the Apollonius, the Greek original of this text does not survive. For Apollonius see Sezgin, V, pp. 139-43; for Thabit ibn Qurra see Seagin, V. pp. 264-274. Norman 58; Riccardi I, 158, 5 ("Bella edizione, ed assai ricercata").

First edition of this commentary (with the text) of Hippocrates' work on insomnia, and on selected passages from the al-Taysir of Abu Marwan ibn Zuhr. Abu Marwan's text is presented in the form of 125 "sentences," adapted from the larger work, followed by commentary. The index of diseases is divided into ailments of the head, throat, stomach, uterus, skin, and also fevers. Giovanni Colle's main claim to fame is to have published the first definite description of a blood transfusion in Methodus facile parandi incunda tuta et nova medicamenta, Venice, 1628 (Garrison-Morton 2011). Colle was professor of medicine in the university of Padua. Bruni Celli 770; Krivatsy 2581; apart from the National Library of Medicine copy (Krivatsy) none is located in NUC.
